Cake of the Month:

Enrique Rojas

Describe the cake, details and techniques: I wanted the design to be regal and to carry a few techniques and trends without looking overcrowded. For the bottom tiers I chose hexagonal shaped cakes as I particularly think they are quite a statement and also rare. These two tiers have a very faint marble effect in greens adorned by geometric stripes hand painted in bronze. There is a crown of Gypsophila around to soften the otherwise hard lines of the shape and the stripes.

The middle tier is a mixed technique. I love how sugar sheet prints are now trending but I also love painting - so I painted on top of a printed sugar sheet with Chinoiserie details and to finish this tier, I piped scrolls around the edges and little dots on top of the sugar sheet painted in copper.

The next tier is a marble tier with a beautiful rich green mix with a vibrant green and white. Then the very top tier is a plain green tier adorned with white sugar peonies, billy balls, sugar eucalyptus, extra greenery and copper painted eucalyptus.

What is the inspiration for this winning cake?The inspiration behind was royalty. I wanted it to look like it was taken out of a French period drama - but with a modern twist. Simple and elegant was what I had in mind but also dramatic.

How much time did you spend creating this cake?From flowers to finishings - it took 5 days!

What do you do while you work? It varies - sometimes I have music on (Depeche Mode gets me going) or I have a TV/Ipad in the background for noise and sometimes, especially when taping flowers, I like to be in complete silence which is quite relaxing!

DO YOU THINK YOU’RE THE NEXT CAKE OF THE MONTH WINNER?
